Therapy for Anxiety and Trauma in New York City
You don’t need more insight. You need something that actually shifts.
Therapy can become more than a place to make sense of your experiences. It can become a place where you begin to experience yourself differently, with greater self-trust, self-compassion, and the freedom to live more fully

Therapy for Trauma and Anxiety that changes more than just your thoughts
You replay conversations long after they've ended. You question whether you were too much, not enough, or somehow got it wrong. No matter how much reassurance you receive, self-doubt always seems to find its way back.
Imagine a text that no longer ruins your afternoon. A difficult interaction that doesn't spiral into self-blame. Looking in the mirror without your reflection determining your worth that day.
Using EMDR, somatic therapy, and parts work, we'll move beyond simply understanding your struggles and toward creating new lived experiences that help you relate to yourself with less fear, less shame, and more room to simply be yourself.
These patterns become exhausting. But it doesn’t have to stay this way
You replay conversations for hours, wondering if you sounded stupid, annoying, too much, or not enough
You can’t tell the difference between intuition and fear anymore
Part of you still expects rejection, abandonment, criticism, or conflict, even in healthy relationships
You’ve spent so long responding to everyone else’s needs that you may have lost touch with what you truly want
Your self-worth rises and falls depending on how your body looks that day
Underneath the anxiety is a deeper fear that you're somehow not enough or worthy, even though you've spent years trying to prove otherwise
Because these patterns don't just live in your thoughts, they also live in your nervous system, your emotions, and the ways you've learned to protect yourself.
Insight is an important part of healing, but lasting change often comes from experiencing something different. When your mind and body begin to feel safe enough to respond in new ways, the patterns that once felt automatic can begin to soften.

Meet Your NYC Anxiety Therapist
Hello, I am Olivia Korn, LCSW - and my work is about creating change you can actually feel
I’m an experiential therapist, which means I’m less interested in helping you just understand yourself and more focused on helping you actually feel and create change.
I integrate approaches like EMDR, somatic therapy, and parts work (IFS), but what matters most is how it feels to be in the process.
Slower. More attuned. Less performative.
We pay attention to what’s happening in real time; in your body, your emotions, your internal responses, so change isn’t just something you think about, but something you actually experience.
Some people are completely new to therapy. Others have been before but are looking for a deeper kind of therapy, one that helps them feel and experience change, not just understand themselves better. I also work with therapists and other clinicians who are navigating the unique pressures of the field. You can read more about therapy for therapists here.
If you’re looking for a space where you don’t have to perform or have it all figured out, you’re in the right place. Book therapy for trauma and anxiety with Olivia.
Here’s What it Can Feel Like to Work with Olivia Korn, LCSW
“I am lucky to have landed a therapist that is so wonderful. Olivia has guided me through incredible breakthroughs using EMDR and IFS therapies that I have never found with previous therapists. As a trauma survivor, I did not think I would ever recover. However, the knowledge, techniques and compassion she provides has allowed me to find healing. Highly recommend!”
—K.M.
“Olivia has a true gift as a therapist. She's warm and connects with me on a very human level. My life has greatly improved from applying what I've learned in our sessions. She's helped me improve relationships, increase self-esteem and most importantly taught me how to heal my nervous system.”
-J.L.
“Olivia creates a nurturing environment and makes me feel safe and supported. She’s relatable, intuitive, and very wise. I have learned about the importance of the mind body connection and somatic skills that have allowed me to have breakthroughs with my anxiety.”
—S.D.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapy that helps the brain process experiences that may still be contributing to anxiety, self-doubt, body image struggles, or relationship patterns. Rather than relying on insight alone, EMDR helps create change at a deeper level so old experiences feel less emotionally charged and no longer have the same hold on your present-day life.
-
Somatic therapy recognizes that anxiety, trauma, and self-criticism don't just live in our thoughts—they also show up in the body. You might notice this as tension, a racing mind, difficulty relaxing, or a constant feeling of being "on." By paying attention to your nervous system and bodily experience, somatic therapy helps create lasting change that goes beyond talking or analyzing.

Yes! I love working with other therapists, specifically but not limited to, new therapists. I support clinicians navigating the unique pressures of the field, including imposter syndrome, burnout, and the emotional weight of our work.
